Starting up

Mounting the microphone

Screw the microphone clamp to a stand.
Place the microphone with its back end into the microphone clamp: Make sure that the lateral slots are not covered.
Orient the microphone together with the microphone clamp and fix them by screwing the wing screw tight.

To suppress structure-borne noise, you can use one of the optional shock mounts (see MZS 20-1).

Note:
For optimal wind protection, use the MZS 20-1 in combination with the MZW 20-1 basket windshield and the MZH 20-1 cover.

Connecting the microphone

Connect the XLR-3 socket of the microphone cable (optional accessories) to the XLR-3 socket of the microphone.

Using the windshield

Note:

The windshield changes the sound only slightly, but attenuates wind noise by approx. 25 dB.

Place the MZW 8060 foam windshield over the microphone head so that all lateral slots are covered.
